Leaked Dossier Claims Russia Has ‘Blackmail Videos’ on Trump

CNN is reporting that Russia has “compromising personal and financial information” about President-elect Donald Trump, claiming that a summary of the source document was presented to Trump during Friday’s intelligence briefing.

There has been no verification of any of the claims in the dossier, which putatively came from a former British intelligence agent, and the allegations were said to be so explosive that the summary memo itself was only shared with a handful of top officials and deliberately excluded from even classified reports on Russia’s election hacking.

The dossier claimed several figures in the Trump campaign were in league with the Russian government during the campaign, and that Russia had been conspiring with them to groom Trump as an ally for “at least five years.” It also claims exchanges of information between Trump and the Kremlin for “at least eight years,” meaning the ties would’ve gone back as far as the last year of the Bush Administration. The dossier names former Trump adviser Carter Page, his personal lawyer Michael Cohen, as well as incoming National Security Adviser Michael Flynn as having personally and repeatedly met with Kremlin officials on anti-Clinton leaks. No evidence of any of this happening exists.

The summary memo that Trump was reportedly presented with did not detail the dirt Russia had on him, but the dossier itself claims multiple sex tapes as the substantive part of it. This included a claim that Trump went out of his way during a 2013 visit to Moscow to rent out the presidential suite in the Ritz Carlton, knowing that the Obamas had stayed there, with an eye toward “defiling” the bed they’d slept in. Russia’s top intelligence agency, the FSB, reportedly had multiple concealed cameras and microphones in the room at the time.

While this was the most explicit individual allegation, the dossier also claimed Trump had repeatedly gone to Moscow and St. Petersberg on business and “had to settle for the use of extensive sexual services from the local prostitutes rather than business success.” It further alleges Trump not only held “wild sex parties” in St. Petersberg, but that officials had had the direct witnesses to such parties “silenced,” either bought off or coerced into leaving the city.

The dossier then quoted an alleged former Russian intelligence officer who claims that Trump’s “unorthodox behavior” over the years during his many visits to Russia had left them with more than enough dirt with which to blackmail the now president-elect.

The narrative on the anti-Hillary hacking is mostly the same as was presented by officials previously, though it included several details, including claims Russia is trying to move the international order back to 19th century “Great Powers” politics.

It also claimed Russia had a deal with Trump’s campaign to leak the DNC emails to WikiLeaks in return for Trump questioning US support for NATO, particularly in the Baltic states, with the idea Russia expected this to distract from Ukraine. They also alleged Russia routinely swapped dirt on Clinton with the Trump campaign in return for information the Trump team had gathered on Russian oligarchs and their families living in the United States.

The dossier insisted that Russia had repeatedly tried to bribe Trump with juicy real estate deals related to the 2018 World Cup, but Trump had “for reasons unknown” not accepted them. They also said Russia had decided not to publicize the dirt they had on Trump so far or directly threaten to blackmail them because they were getting such good voluntary cooperation.

The two-page summary memo of all these allegations, which included none of the details, was reportedly only shared with a handful of officials, though CNN speculated that this was the source of Sen. Harry Reid’s (D – NV) accusations that the FBI had “explosive” intelligence on Trump that they were withholding in the lead up to the vote.

Update: There is a claim circulating out of the 4chan board that the whole thing is a hoax. And the story is already falling apart: Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen, who, according to the document, supposedly met with Russian officials in Prague, has apparently never been to Prague.

What??? You are suggesting that a corrupt government-business nexus – which wants a war worth hundreds of billions of dollars – would attempt to manipulate a passive public with their media stooges with false and increasingly desperate information?

Bianca

This beats yellowcakes!!!

Don

Why so? If it was even an attempt at blackmail it’s already been defused.

My guess is that it would be in Trump’s nature but that’s only a wild guess. I don’t like to sit on the fence on stuff like this so I’m taking a chance. How about you Bianca? Does Trump look like he could be into golden showers kink?

luv from Canada.

MvGuy

OOOOOOOooooooooo….. You can B sure if he was into golden showers, we would have heard about it…..way back when it would have effected voters inclined to choose Trump…. But that’s over. That could have helped the Hillarys THEN. This is NOW and no cavorting with hookers or friends with Russian means squat, only crimes and illegality will cut the cheese…

Don

It sort of fits in with a lot we’ve heard about Trump’s behaviour with the beauty contest girls doesn’t it. He’s seriously kinky around women and so much of it is documented as factual. Even though there may be a small part of it exaggerated. And then of course, all three spook agencies wouldn’t be into making up what was presented to Trump. Explosive!

And this is soooooo important to Americans and especially the Christian ones who must be absolutely squirming as they kneel by their beds and ask for an explanation of how it could all be.

hali karaca

Media having field day with accusations like this and even if Trump had a wild sex parties so what?
Clinton / all 3 Kennedy’s had more interesting then having wild parties with prostitutes.
There nothing there to embarrasse American presidents and to the Western people having wild sex parties is national pastime.
Media wheels of revenge of Trump it seams started very early.
Remember WOMD accusations collaboration with US gaverment was false and millions of refugees all-over the place.
There no one there to cut out to be President in USA,
We know how real President look like when we see one.
Go ahead punk’s bring your worst and let’s have a great time watching the show.

Valerianus Maximus

Deep State temper tantrums are so cute, especially when they lead straight to the fate of Yagoda and Yezhov. Sit back and enjoy watching the wannabe kingmakers be eaten by the police state they created.

TheManInTheBunker

Trump met with Mohamed Atta in Prague…no…wait…ahhh…ummm….

They need to use it for their Travel & tourism office:

Prague: Hold your meetings here and exceed your wildest fantasies.

RickR35

Ah yes, the sexual stuff is starting to be released. I’m surprised it’s taken so long. So far only…mild stuff (?) …about what prostitutes did, no so much what Trump has or hasn’t done.

But we know the m.o. already, typical neocon establishment stuff. No one believes this Russian hacking non-sense. Response: double-down. It’s already becoming clear that the dossier is fake, so we know what’s going to happen: more stuff about Russia, Trump, and now sex. It’s going to be a wild couple of weeks before Trump is inaugurated. That is if they don’t plan something more serious against him.

JasonSteiner

Some people do believe it. I know a lady who is a heavy viewer of network news and she believes every word. I would like to think she is in the minority but I don’t know

Lissa

You know my Mom?

Don

And it’s so exciting and so promising rick because the guy’s the meaning of the word, kink. The fondling of the beauty contest contestants set the stage!

Alleged at least and not necessarily the position of RTnews. Be careful what you believe. No harm in reading the story though. We’ll find out tomorrow.

luv from Canada

nhmakingwaves

Wow. While this once again lacks clear evidence, this does make a bunch of other weird news stories and allegations over the last few months make much more sense, from Trump not releasing his tax return to the rumors of explosive revelations, to what we know about Trump’s personality. Whether correct or ethical or not, this story might well be going places and changing things in some unprecedented ways. I’m starting to wonder if Trump will get sworn in as president at all.

Don

I think that may be the way most of Americans feel right about now. This site and it’s commenters are not representative of the people in any serious way. You said it when you mentioned Trump’s personality, and this fits nicely with what we know for sure. Especially the way he has conducted himself at his beauty contests.

There’s a demonization project being waged against Trump for sure but there’s just too much that we know about him as factual. It’s a real mess now and if it wasn’t a dangerous situation for the rest of the world I personally wouldn’t give a fu–.

luv from Canada.

Bianca

Another one from Brittish kitchen. Like the one that Assange is a pedofile! One should never understand this behaviour of inferiority that US still exhibits towards British. I guess it is hard to stay outside European intrigues.

The problem is this. The report that intelligence came up with was actually a sad example of being so out of time. Clumsy and stuck in an era of spooking that is so gone by. Sounding very important, the report states the inimportant –having traced tha hack to its source, which is –in Russia! The proof, cyrrilic keyboard, time zone. This a sophisticated hacking operation? And malware — a Russian one — used by all and sundry around the globe. All it takes is to configure the malware, send it to someone in Russia, who can use an internet cafee, and done. It is not impossible to trace hack to the origin — but who controls the decision how to represent the identity of destination. The hacker. The notion that Russian spooks sit in their offices , and one can then identify the office — is almost seventies or eighties. And it does not surprise me. The father and son Alperovich, fromRussia, are Hillary’s friends. Father came in the eightees on a coference, got quick asylum and citizenship — being a cryptologist in former Soviet Union, and could have brought with him some cryptolofy products. In a record time, he workrd for top agencies. Son, Dmitri, studied computer security, and worked in that capacity. CrowdSource is apparently doing well, choke full of ex CIA people and is familiar with many agencies and their security. Advised Hillary on some points of her speech a while ago. So, the company is called in to do the analysis, and concluded that it was an “influence attack” basically creating a MOTIVE of the attacker from the thin air, and this phrase made it into final report. As FBI made request ON MORE THEN ONE OCCASSION, and at different levels of DNC, the a cess was not given –nor explanation offered.

In any other normal country this would be an end of investigation. If the party does not want government investigation — this should have ended it. And since no state secrets were involved –only data from PRIVATE. organization, no need for any further follow up. Unfortunate hacking occured, revealing information –never denied, that was damaging to the reputation of a candidate that NEVER. could figure out how to use e-mail system, this embarrasing topic should have gone away. But it is not — because the losing cabal has way too much power to let go, it will do as much harm to the president elect.

The head of all intelligence agencies that attacked RT, could not answer question on viewership. He thought it was something small. Until one representative gold him it was over 800,000 on Y-tube. About ten times more then CNN.

Bianca

I missed something importsnt. CrowdSource did not do the examination of servers — only one person did. Dmitri Alperovich. So, just one person had acces to server. From Hillary’s circle of associates, and with strong links to CIA.

JoeDokes999

Don’t confuse the issue with facts! I hate facts! What about feelings? Facts make my head hurt, and they don’t validate my feelings!

Don

I read the first half of your post and it didn’t make any sense so I stopped reading.

On the positive side of all this, it’s making a mockery of US intelligence. That is, positive for the rest of the world, but a complete disaster for the US. From that prespective alone, I say let Trump bluster his way through it for as long as the country will allow it.

It’s maybe similar in a way to Mussolini’s rise to power, even thought it’s new and much more outrageous in so many ways watching Trump howl his psychopathic heart out to the moon.

Remember the old days when Republicans red baited Democratic Party liberals? Now it is the Democratic Party not so very liberal neoliberals who are Russian baiting a Republican president! Gag us all!

Hopefully all this will backfire on the DP Establishment and the American public will get fed up with both these gangs of Right Winger hacks.

Bianca

Except that public does not have any power any more. They know that there are more brainwashed people in this country then those that oppose them –so if they bloc Trump and install Pence — problem solved. Their revenge would be something to behold.

Don

Interesting theory! Impeach Trump, with the help of the R’s who are starting to get very, very pissed off. No prediction yet but maybe in about six months?

lordbaldric

This is so over the top that it’s giving Trump all the ammunition he needs to take these people in the CIA & Co down.

America Firster

Talk about sticking to your lie. Doubling down in it. Time to bring these neocons, Zionists, Israel Firsters…whatever you want to call them….to justice

JoeDokes999

What? This has nothing to do with Zionism. It was a hoax. Try to see past your bias.

stemurr

How do you know this isn’t part of a broader effort by Israel’s amen corner in the media and the CIA to disrupt cooperation between America and Russia by driving a wedge between them? Or an effort to remove Trump from office and install Pence, who’s more amenable to Israel’s needs?

JoeDokes999

What is “Israel’s amen corner”? Where would I find that corner? As for Trump, he is a strong supporter of Israel, and suggested the US should move their embassy to Jerusalem. But anything can be a plot by anyone, so let’s enjoy some pizza!

America Firster

What is Israel’s amen corner? Jesus Christ. It’s 2017 and you still don’t know?

America Firster

Wow. You really don’t know who is behind all these lies?

JoeDokes999

So, you have some great and special knowledge? From, what, reading the Internet? Or is it just intuition? Good luck with that.

America Firster

Let me see if I got this. You accept without question or examination the assertions being made by the establishment and believe my questioning them is wrong because what, you think I think I need special knowledge of some sort to see through ridiculous, self serving lies. Is that it? You’re a good slave.

Don

Yes lord, you got it right and now consider the implications!

luv from Canada.

MvGuy

Yeah, and 4chan is claiming it pranked the C#A by sending this ,$hit to the aforementioned agency, who posted itnon their site… Lotza luck guys… With this potato

unam_sanctum

slash and burn, the moment he is in.

Don

And again you miss the barn door completely. The CIA is not going to be taken down and they’ve given Trump nothing to use against them.

But you got yourself 5 likes for it so that’s a good indication of how little the people on this site actually understand. LOL
I note that comrade hermit is one of them!! The rest of the airheads can probably be excused. LOL

luv from Canada.

AriusArmenian

Paul Craig Roberts posted an article tonight saying in reference to the dossier from a British intelligence(?) agent:

“Why would such a crazy story be on CNN and in the New York Times unless the ruling establishment intends to use it to block Trump from the presidency?”

“What this elevation in wild charges tells me is that the CIA’s effort to sell Trump on the Russian hacking did not succeed, and the CIA has escalated its attack on the president-elect.”

This is how I see it – the CIA is getting desperate and reckless.

This is very dangerous – anything could happen between now and 1/20.

Don

No, that report would not carry sufficient consequences to block Trump from the presidency, and wasn’t intended to do that. It was a report that was given to Trump in good faith by the spooks. At best it could damage his ego.

But it’s pretty obvious that he’s loading up the front end of the spook agencies so that they will be under his control. LOL

We’ve got 9 more very exciting days ahead of us at least. And then maybe a month more until the big changes are made. Congratulations American on what you are allowing your shyster to do.

luv from Canada.

William

antiwar.com falls for more fake news from CNN.

The easiest way to stop fake news is to stop reading and listening to the people who constantly serve out fake news. When you turn them off, they become powerless.

Found any of those WMD’s in Iraq yet? Sorry, that’s a bad joke, since that particular bit of fake news killed more Americans than OBL did on 9-11. Fake news can be dangerous. Remember the Maine! So, everyone should be aware of spreading fake news, especially the stuff from the war-lovers which really can get people killed.

Don

You’re all mixed up. The WMD story had nothing to do with fake news. It was honest news that was reported to the news agencies pretty well exactly as they received it. Duhhhh. Talking to Americans.

luv from Canada.

Carly

LOL … this is so bad its funny. And of course, like most corporate fake news, it requires that you have no membry and just suck up what they feed you.

Trump made the calls that America should stop funding NATO early in the campaign. It was back when no one really took him seriously and when everyone thought that Jeb Bush would steamroller the field. They of course didn’t understand that America has wanted for some time to say things like the Iraq War was a big mistake and that America should stop paying for the defense of Europe.

This was of course months and months before the Wikileaks revelations about how crooked and rigged the whole Clinton v Bernie fake contest really was.

By the time Wikileaks started leaking the stuff that was obviously coming from Democrat insiders who didn’t like how crooked and corrupt their party had become, Trump was actually toning down the rhetoric about NATO. By that time, he was trying to appeal to the more traditional, pro-war, pro-throw-money-at-the-military Republicans to shore up his base after the primary fights.

So, we are supposed to believe that Russia was making deals with a candidate that at that time was still a long shot? (Did they also cut deals with Ben Carson and Carly Fiona?) And that the supposed deal was the opposite from what really played out in the campaign?

So, the story makes no sense for anyone who actually remembers how the campaign unfolded. But like any big lie, CNN will assume that if they say it loud enough and long enough then they can succeed in getting a bunch of people killed so they can raise their ratings for a month.

MvGuy

OMG… Can it really be true….. That Trump defiled a bed the Obamas used… Quick call the FBI…. It must be a felony…. Right…???

Carnaptious

I had to laugh about that, too, as if the “Obama bed” was some kind of shrine that could be “defiled” by unbeliever Trump.

Don

That’s not the point. It’s not the correct counterspin. I won’t bother explaining unless I’m asked and a conversation is started on the issue. Too many other more important issues to address right now.

It looks like CNN Has tried to pull the wool over our eyes once again. This time, they used a screenshot from the Fallout 4 Video game to paint the picture of Russian Hacking. To bad that’s not what a real hacking screen looks like. And an image you will only find in the video game! Nice Try Clinton News Network!

The Deep State’s strategy is to present any rapprochement with Russia as negative and as a result of Russia “not spilling the beans” on President Trump. The “forever war” people want no hindrance to total world domination, even if it risks a world barren from nuclear war.

Bianca

But what their low IQ does not grasp is that in protocting theor precious behinds, they will have to thread carefully on all out nuclear. But by the slow process of global disintegration to preserve increasingly illusory leadership, leads to an increasing number of countries siding with Russia and China, an increased and deepened alliance of Russia and China, their synergy resulting in scientific breakthroughs and wealth — with corresponding empowerishment of US population, and all those we hang on to as allies. As others control their oil and their soil — what will loser do? Telll populace that it is somebody else’s fault — and? Go nuclear in the world thst may be better off technologically and better defended? The handwritting is on the wall, time for change of course.

In fact, the people to blame today is our good for nothing Congress. They do have authority to put things in perspective, prevent this turmoil, and protect the peacefull transition of power. But instead, many republicans are participating in the show. Thinking like politicians do — we will just vote, and that would do it. No, not at all. By letting it slide — all that is happening is giving credibility to yet another attack.

Don

Yes, the rest of the world is siding with Russia and China more and more.
But the American people are siding against Trump and that’s not good for your country at all.
(as an aside, I wonder how much of it is the inevitable revenge the Dems are going to get because of the shabby treatment of Obama?)

Can a new presidency stand with the low ratings Trump has? And also, the turning away from Trump by his own party’s congressmen?

They’re going to have to choose between the three spook agencies credibility and Trump’s and they don’t have long to make the choice.

Trump is no threat to any US congress people who decide to oppose him. This site doesn’t tell that story but the rest of the internet does. The Dems are winning and Trump could be in some serious trouble. Trouble without the support of his own party. LOL

luv from Canada.

Don

No, we’ve now found out that the deep state had nothing to do with it. Buzzfeed is not so guilt free though.

You just don’t understand very much about this stuff do you!

luv from Canada.

Bianca

This is not good. They are holding the whole country hostge. It is only 12th. Plebty of days to arrest Trump, start a war. The ever increasing lunacy tells me that they are capable of risking every human being and everubody’s interest to protect theirs.

Don

Who’s they and what’s the 12th? In fact, what does that post mean?

luv from Canada.

Don

Trump is holding the whole country hostage. But he may not get away with it because he doesn’t have the majority support, and nowhere near it. It’s going to be interesting to say the least.

I wonder what would happen if the spooks went and picked up Trump and perp walked him off to their lockup? Not suggesting that they would have to stoop to those measures because they can do what needs to be done easier and get the backing of the people with them on it.

luv from Canada.

Bianca

Well — You had to come out at long
last. You approve of police state, elected president being hunted for imaginary ties to a foreign power, because he is threatrning with peace with a nuclear power, he is threstening Big Pharma to stop holding us hostage to their lobbies, threatening to get military contractors exposed for gouging taxpayers, threatening big business with tariffs if they think of selling their products in US, not gettin us any price bresks, pocketing extra proffits, snd stashing them on some islands — far from the empowerished Ammerican working rubble. Yes, he nade enemies, and those are striking with all they got. To keep the power, and continue fleecing. Liberals are too conceited to grasp the issues — as they themselves are the elite with imaginary concern for real people problems.

Which one of the above are you so much in love with — that you think so little of the American peacefull change of government — that you would go along with the sleezy campaign like this? Campaign is over. Some just cannot accept it. And are willing to go very far to keep the power.

unam_sanctum

what a joke ! They even borrowed the name of the famous Cosmonaut Aleksei Gubarov on pg 34. Hollywood scriptwriter ?

GStorm

Why wasn’t this at the minimum insinuated in the CIA report released last week?

Don

Thomas,
What did I say in the post that was censored that was against the rules? As far as I know, it was nothing but opinion, albeit very directly opposed to the opinions that are in support of Trump.

You didn’t say anything in “the post that was censored,” because no such post exists.

Don

This is the hot story on antiwar.com today, even though it’s a day old. And that means that now that Raimondo has done his homework to replace that which his dog ate, he’s lost his pull because of his big mistake on the hacking quesiton. He can’t make it go away now and he only does himself more harm trying. LOL. Censor that!

Oh, and your president has also just turned thumbs down on Russia too now.
Well, that is comrade, if Tillerson is his voice and I don’t think even you would want to deny that. Although what a belly laugh at Trump’s expense it would be if he had to disagree with Tillerson! LOL

No comrade, the empire isn’t melting one bit. It’s being strengthened every day as Trump folds on all his promises. Go figure comrade!

These fake stories are becoming absolutely absurd.

Tiresome wash from a liberal’s “totally haram” brain sector (the part about defiling Prophet Obama’s bed is lulzy though). It’s not even blackmail worthy. I just wonder when the paedophilia claims will come out, as they inevitably must.
